The History of Recipes

It is possible to trace the history of written recipes back into the far past, in fact as far into history as early Egypt, and possibly even further. Interesting though that maybe, in the main part, these old records were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing food.

The truth of the matter is, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to historians is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel blissful and exhilarated.

Later on, in The time of the roman empire around 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of documents showing how to cook the recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main course and desserts, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius describes how the cooks of Roman times made use of many different herbs, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs for example basil, fennel and asafoetida.

As we move on, we have some interesting books which were published in the 1300s - one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. Although the titles sound familiar, these books are unconnected to the indian curry that is popular today, but rather accounts of the types of meals on the menues of the rich.

Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us a variety of foods and herbs from the holy land, such as coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new herbs and spices caused a torrent in books on cookery, many of which still exist in private libraries.

During the following few hundred years, the rich families of Wesstern Europe strove to offer the most extravagent meals, and consequentially cooks and their recipes were much in demand. Even so, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that fine cooking and recipe collections really came of age. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated the best years of their lives to assembling, verifying, and publishing the recipes of their peers.

By the time we get to the 1900s, cooking publications are greatly in demand mostly as a result of better eduction, more free time and having more money.

The arrival of television brings us TV chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books.

And that brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everybody to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading.
